Wonderful day at the Sydney Dog Lovers Show with our gorgeous 6 year old Miles who impressed me so much with his beautiful handling of all the dogs and the fact that he read a name tag ELMO, by himself! ❤️🐾❤️

WHERE HIGH PERFORMANCE & ADHD INTERSECT

THIS ONE IS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS, AMBITIOUS MANAGERS OR ASPIRING TEAM LEADERS WITH ADHD

You know that you are capable of more but you are often hitting a ceiling that feels frustratingly self-imposed: over-functioning; under-delivering (to yourself) and being the bottleneck to your own full potential.

I would love your help please.

I’m building a non‑pathologising, strengths‑based program that will help you:
* Decode your unique ADHD neurotype and its impact on work
* Map strengths to your best matched work (delegate the rest)*
* Boost confidence; slash overwhelm
* Talk to managers/clients so that they see your value
* Give burnout the boot!

💬 To make it hit the mark, I need your voice.

30 minutes on Zoom, one‑to‑one. No scary questions—just your lived experience.

*I have developed a much needed ADHD Strengths Inventory*

Are you in?

👉 DM me or email debbie@debbiecollaros.com.au - I’ll send a Zoom link.

Let’s turn that Ferrari brain into forward momentum 🏎️💨

A call for your wisdom and insight!

🧠 I’ve spent 30 years as a psychologist working with the ADHD brain, not to mention that I have this brain myself.

✨ I’m creating something new for ADHD professionals struggling with their ADHD at work:

✅ Shifting them from seeing themselves as a problem and feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied, to achieving confidence and their greatest success at work by:
* identifying and harnessing their strengths first,
* managing their challenges and if relevant,
* learning how to have constructive conversations with managers to confidently communicate their value and negotiate the support they deserve to thrive.

Unlike traditional ADHD programs, this course depathologises ADHD — focusing on strengths before struggles to boost confidence, bargaining power, earn well-deserved promotions and feel secure and successful in their careers.

The issue is really close to my heart and I want to make the online course as helpful and ultimately as life-transforming as possible for the people in it… I know that speaking to people like yourself will really help me tailor the content to what will best serve this niche of people.

🫵🏼 Do you have a spare 20-30 min to have a casual chat over zoom about your journey? There will be no terrifying questions - it will help me get a deeper sense of how I can best serve you and others like you. Research participants will be offered half-price early access to the Beta course, if they are interested, as my appreciation!

You are welcome to indicate your interest here or email me at:

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you so much for being part of our neurodivergent community!

Kindest regards
Debbie

Best thing to do when you are travelling back from a holiday, is to plan the next one 😉
May you take time out for REST
Be kind to yourselves 🕊️

So, if you’re trying to achieve something new or shift a behaviour this year, remember to break it down. JUST set up your very 1st step. It might even be just planning and deciding when you are going to set the time for it each day or week. Often, intentionally setting the time and space for something increases your chances of actually doing it, massively.

So that’s a wrap for another year on the couch 🛋️

Where ever you will be over this period, take the time to consider what and who leaves you feeling relaxed and joyous. And then intentionally choose to add these into your life.

You do NOT need to attend toxic and distressing social gatherings this season - family included.

The best gift to yourself is exercising your adult freedom and power to say NO to damaging dutiful obligations and to CHOOSE what’s good and healthy for you instead.

Happy holidays! I’m off to swim 💦
